This song, like many of Ren’s, got me right in the gut. I have a daughter I never want to lie to. She’s 7 and exceptionally curious about EVERYTHING. And in true AuDHD fashion, she has an acute sense of justice which means the world often doesn’t make much sense to her. I constantly find myself having to balance between knowing I can’t lie to her and wanting protect her spirit. It’s not an easy task ❤
I wasn’t planning on getting emotional today but Ren tugged on my heart strings. I had tears running down my face at the end. Thanks REN, I needed that. Another great reaction. I like your idea of a podcast about “greed”.
I have 8 year old twin daughters who my wife and I are homeschooling. In regard to the issue of instilling reality versus maintaining innocence , I tell them “trade your naivety for wonder. To continue to reflect innocence even with the knowledge of the world will be the greatest gift you can give others. It will tell those around you that you can still know reality without compromising your joy or playfulness.” I inject academic philosophy into so much of their school. Being able to reason well, and to wonder deeply, protects us from the vulnerability our ignorance as children causes us, while still preserving our better nature. That’s my two cents. Loved the reaction brother
I FEEL YOU MAN i have the same worries for my children. Your children are blessed, my brother. She has a father who understands the world she will inherit. Our children can be the difference this world needs 🙏
Good reaction. All (good) parents have the fear that this will happen to their children, regardless of whether they are boys or girls. Especially when it comes to the sensitive ones.
You are 100% correct. I think the fact he was talking about his sister and that my Daughter is extremely empathetic that it immediately brought me to her. But you are correct.
I loved your reaction. Ren’s art is pure. It comes from his heart, constantly. He couldn’t turn it off if he tried. I think he generates it with every breath. That’s hard work. It takes a lot of energy. You could say, that energy could be directed at healing, but what more healing than art? ❤
Watched your last vid, and didnt get around to comment. Was gonna say dont worry about feeling like ppl are looking for emotions all the time. Happy song reactions are just as great, when the songs are great. And I dont blame you one bit for wanting to mix it up with other stuff. All that to say, dont consider your emotions as weakness, but as a testament to how Ren is able to draw it out time and time again. Yet also be able to make other fun and silly music too. 😊 As for your daughter, its a tough one mate. One day at a time, that kindness may one day grow into great wisdom that will be one day be one of her strongest tools in order to face this tough world ❤🤞
Lol - I laughed when I saw your video title, after watching yesterday's video - Ren does do that to us! And only Ren could combine social commentary with a love letter to his sister ... and make it work so beautifully! Thank you for another great reaction 🙂
Stay true to your values, JP. You have an ideal of what the world should be like. Teach that to your daughter. Teach her both sides of the coin so she can understand. Let her grow up with knowledge and her own personal interpretation of the world. Hopefully, that will be enough for her to become and remain a good person throughout life. That is the best you can do. That is yoru path to success for her and yourself.
Being the first born daughter and having two younger brothers, the verse dedicated to his sister gets me! He just exudes big brother energy and I never had that and it just hits me right in the feels! ❤ great reaction man !❤
My daughter did get bullied and SA’d and she could share it with me until she took her life with an enormous amount of pain. Hope is the last thing left in Pandoras Box.
So sorry to hear this. This is my worst fear. I always try to keep a mind of communication open for our daughter to make sure that she would be willing to talk to us.
@@mcflyjp she killed 10% of her kidney at 18 months changing her own diaper to let mommadee & daddamee sleep, she had a 3rd ureter (ok I’m a mutant mama).. She was too brilliant a light for the weight of this world.
Loved this react! Found myself very much in your shoes. Those words to his sister may have been words to my own daughter. I completely understand what you’re feeling here. It’s a tough world for all of us, but for the kids… what kind of world are they coming into? How do you teach your kids to love unconditionally, while always looking over their shoulder? How do you teach them to be kind in a world full of glorified hate? How do we teach them to help others in a system that instills selfishness and greed?
Going into a Ren video thinking you can just react (and not feel) is the perfect way to get blindsided. I still tear up when he sings the verse for his sister. He originally (before his health scare) was going to release this on her birthday. I can just see her sitting and listening to it. Blubbering I think.
Thank you for sharing 🤗 Ren knows how to get to our hearts don't he 😏.. I'm a older protective sister.. Also have daughters and grandaughters.. Alot of girls in my family and we all had to buckle up.. It's tough world out there.. Innocence is a treasure to hold no amount of money can replace it 😔❤️✌️
So, $$$, I get it. Without a partner that believes money accumulation for the future is important, I’d totally be fine with nothing, as long as I didn’t starve to death. Balance is important! 💪
More than a decade ago, I got called-in by my daughter’s 5th grade teacher. I was confused at first, because she was smart and had never been in any trouble! That teacher was worried that my beautiful girl was “too naive!”😂 Thought she didn’t understand that the world was cruel and mean, and “not everyone was her friend!” Omgosh! If an omnipresent view had been able to see MY response to this!? Sheesh! I hated that lady! My daughter was safe enough at age ten!? That she was still trusting and HAPPY!?! E’f that lady! Because the world comes for ALL of us! Soon enough! Be proud if you can keep your kids smart! Happy! And savvy, all without pain and/or suffering… enjoy it while it lasts! ‘Cause it won’t be forever!
Why stop yourself from showing emotions on camera? Isn't that what connects us to you in the first place? Us seeing you be emotional, reminds us of how we first felt watching for the first time too. If you didn't show any emotion and just gave an analysis, we wouldn't connect with you and it would have a totally different impact. As a mum of two daughters, I totally get your fears. But the best thing we can do as parents is to teach our daughters self worth, confidence and conviction without losing their empathy and kindness. Primary school is a time where they will learn how to deal with all sorts of people. You just need to give her the tools. My daughter is also someone who is very innocent and kind. She has learnt to understand why kids are bullies and to avoid dramas. She's learnt to stick with kids who are likeminded and to stick to her morals and fight for what she believes is right. She has just started secondary school, so hopefully she now has all her armament ready bc at this age they will no longer listen to us. Now they rely on the lessons they learnt and we can only hope we've done enough. ❤
#ren amazing as alway's The kindest most empathetic, helpful & people rock solid values yet been through a lot are people with less, yet so giving 🩷 Love that I recognise places he's at & sat on the bench hes on when visiting Brighton after sgp 🤍
This song hit me hard too. Your daughter is lucky to have a dad that as empathy like she does. That alone is enough.

This is the hardest thing to figure out. But as Parents we do our best. Keep going my friend!

Hmmm. I'll mull it over and maybe do one.

That's lovely

💜 For your daughter and your reaction. She has you for a father, It's a good thing✌️

Great reaction. Your feelings are only natural towards your daughter. I feel exactly the same towards my sister. She is my diamond.

Such a powerful, emotional, and visually stunning song.

You're a great dad, I can tell how much you love your kids 💜💜🥹

Same
@@Veeliscious ❤️🫂 I don’t want it to sound weird, but I almost feel like he’s talking to me and it makes me feel safe and protected for some reason.
Mcfly "I may not get so emotional on ren reactions now."
Ren "hold my beer. And a tissue." ❤
Really hit me hard too, appreciate your reaction, as always ❤

I can't imagine. Definitely a heartfelt song.
Enjoyed the break down. Love to you & yours. And look after yourself. Peace.
Appreciate that. Thank you! Much love!❤️
yes! I'm with you about the cinematography, artistic imagery is beautiful! And the lyrics of course
